Abstract
In 1979, the FDA adopted the Pregnancy Category System to provide guidance regarding the risks of medication use in pregnancy; however, many shortcomings to this system have been identified. This article will review the main criticisms of the category system and discuss the new system proposed by the FDA to better convey the potential risks of medication use during pregnancy and/or lactation.
